( � All planting� in environmentally sensitive areas and their buffers and in transition areas in SW Everett shal] be native species and hybrid natives, including ]andscaping required by Chapter 3� of the 7oning Code (perimeter landscaping, landscaping of the parking lot, and interior landscaping). The Ciry has a goal that 'S% of new landscaping in the Subarea be native, hybrid natives, or drought-tolerant. Landscape plans should show an attempt to reach this goal unless landscaping with these species will not meet the objective �f the proposal (e.g., golf driving range, ball fields, etc.). Plants with noted habitat or food value for wildlife should be selected wherever possible. Invasive species shall not be planted. A list of native recommended species is included in Appendix 3.4.6 of the SV!'EveretJPaine Field Subazea Plan EIS. Where native, hyLrid na[ives ancUor drought-tolerant species are planted, pernianent irrigation systems shall not be reyuired. Temporary irrigation must be provided for two Y�•�s afier planpng. (SEPA Plant and Animal, Water and Public Services Policies) 4. Plantings in environmentally sensitive areas and their buffers mus[be designed to simulate Pacific NW native plant communities in terms of composition, cover-abundance, and structure. All mitigation plars shall include herbs in the planting plan. Diversity of environmentally sensitive area buffer habitat must also be ensured through the planting of later successional forested stages of vegetation (e.g. Western red cedar, Dou�las fir, and Westem hemlock) where needed and appropriate. (SEPA Piant and Anima] Policies) 5. The provision of thin-stemmed emergents in the northwest portion of wctlands for amphibian breeding habit�t must be considered when desia ing wedand mitigation. (SEPA Plant and Animal Policies) 6. Exotic invasive species must be controlled. English ivy (Hedera heli.c) shall not be planted in the Subarea. PropeRies must be maintained to eliminate Scot's broom and other invasive species. (SEPA Plant and Animal and Land and Shoreline Use Policies) 7. Although eagles are not cu�rendy l:nown to be nesting in the Subarea, they do nest in the study area. Eagles sometimes move nest locations widiin their territories, and more eagles are nesting in urban areas, often at sites th:�t appear to be extremely marginal (Milner, 1996). Potential nestin� sites do occur and will continue to occur within the ravines and in other forested area� within the 5ubarea. Th� City's Lnvironmentally Sensitive Areas Ordinance requires that trees within lhe ravines and other envS;onmentally sensitive areas be protected in most cases. (Trees in environmentally sensitive areas may be cut in emergency situations, such as where they pose a hazard to strucmres, and for cons�ruction of required utilities.) If a nest does occur on or adjacenT to a development prc,gosal, the owner currently must obtain approvals from the V�'ashington Dep�utment of Fish and Wildlife before he/she can obtain a pernut from the City. The Ciry staff is directed to �vork with the Department of Fish and �Vildlife ro incorporate an eagle management plan in the adonted Subarea Plan. This would expedite permittin� if an eagle's nest is found near a prop�sed �ievel; pment. (Failure to reach a`reement on a plan would not affect the imp]ementation of the :�ubarea Plan, but would require individual property owners to reach agreement w�ith the Departrrc�t of Fish and Wildlife if an ea�le's nest is found on or adjacent to a proposed developmen[.)
